“Diversity and inclusion is a critical component of PwC’s success and it acts as a guiding principle in the work we do. We’re truly honoured by this recognition,” says Saul Plener, Chief Inclusion Officer, PwC. “Having diversity of thought around the decision-making table, through diverse backgrounds and experiences, moves us from traditional thinking to dynamic and innovative leadership.”

In the past year, PwC has launched a number of new initiatives to enhance its commitment of creating an inclusive environment for its people and to celebrate differences. Some of the recent activities include:

Engaged our people through a diversity survey and dialogue to obtain feedback about current inclusion practices at PwC

Devised a diversity and inclusion dashboard to measure success

Saul concludes, “The tone must be set from the top – leaders have a huge impact in moving organizations. By keeping diversity and inclusion top of mind – and weaving it into everyday conversations with our clients, people, and communities – it becomes part of how we act and behave.”
